Can someone please tell me how one is supposed to insert a \n in the 
buffer when longlines-mode is on?

The following will not do it

   (insert "\n")

A workaround seems to be to add

   (setq longlines-wrap-beg nil)

after the insertion.

Thanks, I had no idea about that. Maybe that variable should be 
documented? Some documentation about this in longlines-mode would 
perhaps also be useful?

I was wondering if we shouldn't start to use things like unicode #x2029
(paragraph separator) for hard newlines (and maybe #x2028 for soft newlines).
